CIAT, A Model-Based Tool for Designing Groupware User Interfaces Using CIAM

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Computer-Aided Design of User Interfaces VI

Abstract

In this chapter, we introduce CIAT (Collaborative Interactive Applications Tool), a software tool based on models supporting designers and engineers to create models based on CIAN notation. This software tool supports the interface design of groupware applications that enable integration with software processes through UML notation. We introduce our methodological approach for dealing with the conceptual design of applications that support work in groups, called CIAM. A study case using the Congress Management System is presented in order to describe our Model.
